Taming The Hidden Bigshot By Kissing Him-Chapter 668: Don’t, Kiss Me

Pei Chun was still wandering around the Prince’s Mansion of the Guan Family.

Meanwhile, Xie Xubai kept walking forward with Huo Sijiao.

The Guan Family estate was vast. Just navigating from the main hall, through the winding corridors, to the study required countless twists and turns. The ancestral Prince’s Mansion, handed down through generations, was undeniably grand.

"The study is over that way."

Xie Xubai walked alongside her and reminded her.

Huo Sijiao gazed at the scenery outside the intricately carved windows, her brows slightly lifted as she asked, "Do you come here often?"

"When I was young, I came frequently. After growing up, not so much. The relationship between the Xie Family and the Guan Family has always been lukewarm..."

"You’re technically their little uncle, right? Quite the seniority. Honestly, despite the distance in relationships and lack of blood ties, have you ever thought about marrying Guan Jingtan to secure control over the Guan Family’s assets? It’d enable you to achieve your goals faster—like elevating the Xie Family to replace one of the Four Great Families."

Huo Sijiao was well aware that Xie Xubai’s ambition was to make the Xie Family part of the Four Great Families in the Imperial Capital.

Xie Xubai’s faint smile lingered on his face, his subtle sandalwood scent hovering around him: "Never thought about it. A gentleman doesn’t stand under a precarious wall."

Back then, the Xie Family acted prudently, expanding in secret, avoiding giving others the chance to uproot them.

But the Xie Family now—

Things were different.

Actions could afford to be more overt and bold.

"Do you think the Guan Family is a precarious wall? Some people seem determined to jump into it." Huo Sijiao thought of Shen Xuanzhi and felt both angry and helpless.

She walked along the corridor, feeling the warm breeze swirling around.

Her throat felt dry.

Was it because the sweet tea was cloying just now?

She reached up and tugged at her collar, her cheeks flushed. Her legs felt a bit weak, and she stopped walking.

Xie Xubai asked, "What’s wrong?"

Huo Sijiao frowned and shook her head, "Something doesn’t feel right. I... I feel hot. Do you feel hot? It’s like my whole body is burning. I want some water."

What was worse was the yearning that suddenly surged when she looked at Xie Xubai.

She couldn’t help but move closer.

Normally, the faint sandalwood scent on him was calming and peaceful, helping one maintain composure. But now, she found it addictive—disturbingly enticing.

She leaned closer, almost pressing into his arms to catch his scent.

Like an addict succumbing to poison.

"It smells so good, did you change your sandalwood aroma?"

Huo Sijiao murmured.

In certain moments, that sandalwood scent could transform into a weapon of allure, capable of ensnaring the mind.

Xie Xubai placed a hand on her shoulder, "No, I didn’t change it. What’s going on?"

His throat bobbed.

Blood surged.

Looking at Huo Sijiao in her current state, his previously steadfast self-control was unusually fragile.

He felt an indescribable impulse toward her.

"Xie Xubai... I feel strange."

Huo Sijiao’s flushed eyes glimmered with heat. She reached out her burning hand, boldly tracing his jaw before sliding to his cheek and earlobe.

She pinched lightly.

Xie Xubai felt a shivery sensation rush through him, his body also growing feverish.

Given the situation, he knew full well they’d fallen victim to something!

Initially, he thought no one would dare be so audacious as to concoct such schemes during an event at the Guan Family. The dishes and soups served... Either the soup in those porcelain cups, or perhaps the tea.

That overly-sweet tea.

Regular celebratory tea wouldn’t contain so much water.

Unless... it was to mask subtle, distinct odors.

Such vile idiocy!

Today’s wedding banquet saw the Guan Family take additional precautions after past missteps, installing hidden cameras throughout the venue.

Xie Xubai forced himself to stay calm. He looked at Huo Sijiao, about to speak, but before he could, she collapsed into his embrace.

The soft floral scent on her enveloped him, his senses overwhelmed in that instant.

Xie Xubai couldn’t break free.

"Huo Sijiao, calm down for a moment. We’ve been set up. We need to go find..."

Before he finished speaking—

His lips were sealed.

Huo Sijiao’s crimson lips were striking, her breath irregular. She clung to his collar, tiptoeing and shutting her eyes, kissing him haphazardly.

Their breaths mingled.

Chaotic.

Yet the chaos sparked the deepest desires in them.

Amplifying.

Engulfing.

"I’m so hot... Ah, Xie Xubai... how come you’re so hot too?" Her voice, raspy as if smoke choked it, was soft yet carried an unintentional mix of pleading and passion.

Her kisses dropped down to his lip corners.

To his tongue.

And finally, as her body gave way, to his throat.

Xie Xubai’s so-called calm—how laughable.

He shut his eyes tightly, realizing he couldn’t refuse her.

Huo Sijiao’s reason dwindled by the second; her hands grabbed at his collar. The upright gentleman before her was now disheveled.

His shirt buttons undone, his blazer wrinkled.

"Huo Sijiao."

Xie Xubai called hoarsely, "Stop this."

"No..."

Her red lips dove to his collarbone, pushing him against the wall.

With a hint of frustration, she whined, "Why are you so hot too... Ah."

The delicate tone of her whimper stirred something profound within Xie Xubai.

The potency of the drug came swiftly and intensely.

Momentarily losing focus, his hand rested on her slim waist.

Their lips parted and met again, unable to resist.

Entwined with passion.

Their breaths fiery.

Huo Sijiao, after drinking too much sweet tea, felt weak, collapsing against his chest. Xie Xubai placed fleeting kisses on her flushed cheeks, pulling himself back to his senses.

He pinched his own thigh hard, the sharp pain jolting his nerves and granting him fleeting clarity.

"Huo Sijiao, we can’t..."

"No, kiss me."

She shook her head, looking wronged, gripping his hand and guiding it over herself. freēnovelkiss.com

"We can’t go on like this; we need to do something. I’ll take you to find..."

"No."

Huo Sijiao seemed boneless, wrapping herself around him.

"Just bear with me; I’ll take you to find your sister-in-law." Deep down, Xie Xubai didn’t want to take advantage of her while she was under the influence of the drug.

After all, things like this—

Were far more satisfying when the person was fully aware.

She still seemed to harbor feelings for Shen Xuanzhi tonight. If anything inappropriate happened between them now, she would regret it for the rest of her life.

"Don’t leave me, I..."

Huo Sijiao clung tightly to him, her crimson lips seeking his warmth.

Xie Xubai’s face and shirt were covered in lipstick marks, the smudged lipstick thoroughly rubbed off.

He tried to pick her up, but she squirmed uncooperatively in his arms.

"Xie Xubai!"

"Jiaojiao!"

Exclamations erupted nearby. Around the corner, a group of people stood watching their feverish, almost crazed entanglement.

Qiao Xi gasped in shock, covering her mouth.

Could it be... they were now involved?

"Oh wow!" Old Chen nearly burst out laughing. "What’s going on here?"

Huo Xingzhou’s face darkened, while the trailing Guan Jingtan looked just as astonished.

Xie Xubai could no longer sustain his usual composure. He tried to pull Huo Sijiao off him, but she only clung tighter.

Ultimately, he could only let Huo Sijiao continue stoking the heat against his chest. Red from ear to ear, he looked at the crowd and said, "We... were drugged."

How humiliating!
